what to do with a mini i did not even see a point in making one because they seemed to be simply useless to me how wrong i was there are so many things you can do with mini quilts you can hang them on a wall to decorate your place or sewing room you can use them as a place mat or a mug rug or even use it as a trivet and of course they make lovely gifts i like using mine on our dining table under a vase with flowers or a small stack of books i also enjoy using them as working mats while doing some hand sewing in the living room i realised that the most important idea behind a mini quilt is trying new patterns ideas new challenging techniques and showcasing your skills and pretty fabrics and they are simply fun to work on read more posted by larisa at 23 15 8 comments email this blogthis

hexagon baby bib it really is a quick and fun way to create something cute for your little one i am using amy s from nanacompany bib template for this tutorial there are two reasons for that firstly i really like the particular shape of this bib and it was the original bib i made for my little one but unfortunately it got lost secondly for a few reasons we still don t have a printer at home i know it s crazy after our little one destroyed the old one a few months back i cannot really design anything at the moment that requires printing or scanning this shape is really great and suits older babies from about 4 6 months when they need it the most i have designed a smaller bib of a different shape for my little one and it was perfect for him while he was a newborn i might write a tutorial for that later ok let s get started for this bib as the name and the photo suggest you will need to make 18 hexagons they are fun to make and you can get really creative here once you have 18 1
